Farmer's best omelette; breakfast burrito
Deepali P.

Everything we ate here was phenomenal. The omelette had Brussels sprouts in it and tasted really good, never had them in an omelette before. I was skeptical of the maple tahini but that was a bit hit. The coffee here is also really good. The restaurant is really popular and when we ordered it said 25 min wait and we ended up wasting about 45 min before we got our food. The staff was definitely overwhelmed by how busy it was but they were doing their best and were very apologetic.

Way overdue review! Visited for breakfast in the beginning of September due to having a voucher for a free meal or money off provided by The Carriage House Inn across the street. Coffee and food was delicious! Highly recommend the French toast topped with fresh fruit and the bacon. Sausage was a patty and average. Looking forward to going back the next time I am in the area!

Wall decor near the restroom

Delicious breakfast spread and drinks. Lots of seating, just have to find one and claim. While your partner lines up to order. We had chicken sandwich and omelette, both delicious! We both at the speckled hen latte which hit the spot. Very busy place, but pretty good 20 mins wait after ordering. I would recommend for sure!!

Lancaster quiche

What a lovely restaurant! My husband and I actually stayed at the restaurant owners' Airbnb and got a voucher to this restaurant. We had a delicious brunch. I ordered the Lancaster quiche, which came with a side salad. The quiche wasn't too heavy and had a good flavor. I really liked the crust. It was a good portion as well. The servers are friendly, and there's plenty of seating inside. Would definitely come back here and try the French toast next time we are in the area!

My family and I got vouchers from our stay at Verdant View Farm to have breakfast here on a Sunday morning. We were seated upstairs after we packed our orders. The coffee was delicious and my spicy BLT on a cheesy bagel was so delicious. This place is a solid breakfast and brunch place.

Best coffee I've had in PA After spending the night in Lancaster I was searching for a spot for brekkie. The speckled hen called my name. And I am so glad it did because wow! This is a must stop spot in my opinion. I decided to order the avocado toast, an iced strawberry matcha, and a hot mocha. This avocado toast was not only beautiful, but it was so incredibly delicious! The flavors mingled perfectly and I always love a nice bite of pickled red onion! The matcha was also fabulous. The perfect color!! And a fabulous flavor to go with it. As for this mocha, I genuinely don't know if I've ever had a better espresso! And I'm from Seattle so I consider myself to know a few things. The foam was so think that the coffee art didn't move when I took a sip. Jaw drop moment for me. The inside was nice and bright. Lots of seating! Definitely would stop by if I had the opportunity again!

Gingerbread house lattes

I stopped by here earlier today with my family for our morning coffee. Whenever we go on vacation, we try to visit a new coffee shop each morning, and on this day we decided to head to the Speckled Hen since it was close by. The shop is located on East Main Street and has parking on both the side and the back. From the outside, I did not expect it to be very large, but the interior ended up being surprisingly spacious. The main area includes the ordering counter along with display cases and a Christmas tree, as it was right before the holiday. The cashier was especially nice to my kids and told us about a play area located in one of the side rooms, which we immediately headed toward. That room could seat around twenty four people and had wood floors along with black metal and dark wood chairs. The real win for us, though, was the kids play area. It was set up like a miniature version of the coffee shop, complete with play food and desserts, which kept our kids happily occupied while we enjoyed our drinks. For my coffee this morning, I went with the Gingerbread House Latte, and my wife chose the same. The coffee was very good. You got a solid coffee flavor up front, followed by a clear gingerbread note, and then it finished with a pleasant sweetness that lingered for a bit without becoming overpowering. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our coffees, and while I did not eat anything myself, my wife enjoyed her berry Nutella croissant and my daughter really liked her parfait.

A surprising find for some gluten free and vegan gals! This was something like you would find in a more urban area. We found our table and perused the menu before heading to the counter to place our order. Got our little buzzers and took a seat.... And then they brought the food to us! I got the sweet potato bowl with GF toast. My friend got the vegan burrito. We both loved our choices. The coffee was excellent, too. We got there as soon as they opened and it was completely empty.... It soon filled up and the kids play area was right behind us. We soon found ourselves shouting to hear one another. Maybe not the best place to sit if you don't have littles with you. I'd love to come back to try some other dishes. They all looked so good.

Inside shop

Came in for coffee and pastry and unfortunately really hated it. Coffee is not bad, but pastries are awful. The most mediocre baking I have ever had. On top of it they messed up our coffee order and we had to wait literally forever. I don't know if this is the only spot in town...it was extremely overcrowded. Ambience and decor, however, were not bad.

Latte

Food was delish and lots of options. Comfy seating inside or outside. Staff was very attentive and friendly.

Outside Seating

Dave and I had one day to spare after graduation in Maryland, so we took a ride to Pennsylvania Dutch Country. We needed to find a place to eat outside with Freckles and we came across the Speckled Hen Coffee Place in Strasburg. This cafe is charming and is located on Main Street. You order at the counter and then you get your own coffee. It's the kind of place that you can relax, read, do school work etc. We both had the western omelettes that were delicious and I had home fries on the side and Dave grits, When our food was ready the servers brought it outside for us along with a water bowl for Freckles. We ate and watched the cars and buggies go by. I love the beautiful green fields and horses and buggies. I even saw the Host Farm which is now a Hershey's property. Here's where I went first my honeymoon a long, long, time ago. We hopefully will return to this beautiful place with its perfect temperatures again.

Looked like there was only 2 servers for the entire place which was busy. My husband liked his chili, so that's the two star review. He said it had a lot of flavor.

We were there for 30-45 minutes and she then finally brought out the cocktail menu. Not entirely sure I would come back.

Our server was really nice and the food was good, but the entrées are extremely overpriced for what you get. My meal was $25 for chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes. The green beans were good and the chicken wasn't bad, just a little tough in some places. I didn't like the mashed potatoes-the texture was gritty and they had way too much butter. My husband had soup, salad, and 1/2 sandwich for $15. Reasonably priced and he liked everything. They have a nice store in the middle of the restaurant and some hand made items. Staff were very friendly. The lady at the front was so personable and chatted with us for a while when we left. Wouldn't go back, but if don't mind paying a bit more than usual, check it out!

We even got a chance to see some trains and some horse-and-buggies go by. The home style menu offered a good selection of casual fare. Two of us had the Monte Cristo sandwich and I have to say, their presentation of this sandwich was creative and delicious. (They also gave us a huge pile of French fries which were not especially good). One of us ordered the ribs, which were meaty and flavorful. They have a decent kids menu as well. Service was friendly. There's a little gift shop attached which carries cute souvenirs. Best of all, we strolled around the grounds after dinner and saw the horses and other animals. Overall, this was a fun wrap-up for our day at the Strasburg Railroad.

I am so unbelievably glad we stopped here because it was one of the most impressive and tasty dinners I've had in a long time! Their menu isn't super extensive but they do have rotating specials of drinks, dinner, and dessert. I went with the pork chops which came with their seasonal starch and vegetable which was potatoes and zucchini. The pork chop was super flavorful and cooked to perfection. The bacon jam had a sweet and salty vibe which only added to the flavor of the dish. I ordered a ginger and pear mocktail - refreshing. Their drinks looked amazing but I refrained from alcohol for the night , but they were definitely tempting. My mom loved her apricot salmon and had the same sides. Bread and salad a soup are all à la carte add ons. The roll was nice and fresh tasting and my mom had the tomato bisque which she loved and honestly smelled so good! It was covered in melted cheese - yum! We got dessert because of course we had to- all made in house and gluten free. I got the creme brûlée which was hands down the best creme brûlée I've ever had. You could see the vanilla bean flecks and it had a hint of saltiness which balanced out the creamy texture and sweetness nicely. My mom got the carrot cake which was multi layered and came with candied walnuts and caramel sauce. Our waiter was so unbelievably kind and attentive and personable. The restaurant had what appeared to be 3 main rooms. The bar looked gorgeous, we sat in one of the dining rooms which was simply decorated and a bit moody. The building itself is cool and they also had a nice outside area with beautiful twinkle lights. I'm so glad we randomly stumbled upon this restaurant and when we go back to Lancaster we'll definitely be back - prices were pretty fair! Overall, don't sleep on this!
